Milk thistle was approved in 1986 as a treatment for liver disease and it is widely used to treat alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver poisoning and viral hepatitis. It has also been shown to protect the liver against medications such as acetaminophen, a non-aspirin pain reliever.
Some studies suggest that this herb may be beneficial to people having type 2 diabetes, as it can decrease blood sugar levels and possibly improve insulin resistance. Milk thistle also protects the liver from harmful substances like toxins, preventing them from penetrating liver cells.
